This is a plugin that replicates the Bullet-hell system from Undertale.

========================================================================
Skill Notetags
========================================================================

Place these notetags into the notebox of a Skill to customize the qualities
of the UTB attack!

========================================================================

For a Skill to use the Undertale Battle System, place this notetag in it:

<Use Undertale Attack>

========================================================================

<UTB Duration: x>

Set this to the amount of frames the UTB attack will last.
60 frames = 1 second.

========================================================================

<UTB Mode: 0>
Set’s this Skill to use the default mode.

<UTB Mode: 1>
Set’s this Skill to use the blue mode (gravity mode).
Can also use:
1.2 = Gravity to the left
1.3 = Gravity to the right
1.4 = Gravity to the up

<UTB Mode: 2>
Set’s this Skill to use green mode (shield mode).

<UTB Mode: 3>
Set’s this Skill to use purple mode (trap mode).

<UTB Mode: 4>
Set’s this Skill to use yellow mode (shooter mode).

========================================================================

<UTB Invincibility: x>

Set this to the amount of frames of invincibility that the player should
get when they’re hit with an attack.
60 frames = 1 second.

========================================================================

<UTB Delete Outside Frame>

If this Notetag is in the Notebox of the Skill, then the “attacks” will
be deleted if they exit the battle frame.

If this isn’t present, then attacks will be seen everywhere.

========================================================================

<UTB Code>
</UTB Code>

This allows you to customize JavaScript code for the overall Skill.
You can use ‘f’ and ‘p’ which are variables representing the current frame
and player object respectively.

Here’s some examples:

– How to change Player’s mode to 1 at frame 100:
<UTB Code>
if(f === 100) {
p.setMode(1);
}
</UTB Code>

– How to show a message at frame 300:
<UTB Code>
if(f === 300) {
this.message(“Hello \\!This is a message.”);
}
</UTB Code>

– How to have a 1 in 100 chance for an instance of Attack 1 to
spawn every frame:
<UTB Code>
if(Math.randomInt(100) === 1) {
this.createAttack(1);
}
</UTB Code>

========================================================================

<UTB Initial Code>
</UTB Initial Code>

This is code that is run once at the start of the Skill.
It is mainly used to initialize variables and spawn preparation attacks
if it is necessary.

Here’s some examples:

– Creates a number variable called “count”:
<UTB Initial Code>
this._count = 0;
</UTB Initial Code>

– Spawns Attack 1 on the first frame only:
<UTB Initial Code>
this.createAttack(1);
</UTB Initial Code>

– Sets the frame’s Width to 500 and substract 50 from the frame’s X:
<UTB Initial Code>
this.window.width = 500;
this.window.x -= 50;
</UTB Initial Code>

========================================================================

<UTB Attack x>
</UTB Attack x>

Now, each Skill can have 9 individual “UTB attacks”.
You can customize one of them by using the tags above.
Then, you can customize the qualities of the attack by
using notetags inside of the UTB attack tags.

You may have to use this online tool to make the creation convenient:
http://sumrndmdde.github.io/UTB-Attack-Creator/

For example:

<UTB Attack 1>
Initial X: this.x + 220
Initial Y: this.y + 5
Collision Type: Rect
Width: 160
Height: 20
X Speed: 0
Y Speed: 0.5
X Accel: 0
Y Accel: 0
Color: green
Spawn Rate: 100
Spawn Delay: 0
</UTB Attack 1>

<UTB Attack 2>
Initial X: this.x
Initial Y: this.y
X Speed: 1
Y Speed: 1
X Accel: 0
Y Accel: 0
Collision Type: circle
Radius: 15
Spawn Rate: 100
Spawn Delay: 20
Delete Distance: 50
Destructible: true
<Direct Code>
if(this.x > width) this.xspeed = -1;
</Direct Code>
</UTB Attack 2>

========================================================================
Actor Notetags
========================================================================

Use these to customize the Image and Collision of the Actor:

<UTB Sprite: filename>

Use this to set the file of the image of what you want the Actor to look
like. The image must be stored in img/SumRndmDde/utb/

Example: <UTB Sprite: heart>

========================================================================

<UTB Speed: speed>

Set this to the speed the Actor should move in the frame.

Simply set this to a number.

Example: <UTB Speed: 4>
<UTB Speed: 6>

========================================================================

<UTB Shape: shape>

Set this to the shape of this Actor’s collision box.

You can use: “circle” or “rect”.

Example: <UTB Shape: circle>
<UTB Shape: rect>

========================================================================

In order to customize the size of the shapes, use:

<UTB Radius: number>
For the “circle” collision.

<UTB Width: number>
<UTB Height: number>
For the “rect” collision.

========================================================================
Misc JavaScript Eval Info
========================================================================

Window Frame Evals
========================================================================

For the “Direct Code” and “UTB Code” notetags, you can use the this.window
variable to reference various positions on the frame.

this.window.x – The X position of the Window
this.window.y – The Y position of the Window
this.window.width – The width of the Window
this.window.height – The height of the Window

this.window.x_middle – The X position of the middle of the Window
this.window.y_middle – The Y position of the middle of the Window

Message Bubble Text Save
========================================================================

In order to “save” text to be shown in the next Undertale attack, use
the following Script Call:

$gameMessageBubble.saveText(`Insert the text
you wish to use
in here!`);

    Is it possible to only have the act button for actor 1 and the rest of the actors have a spell button? I’m planning on making a Deltarune-similar game.

    hello and I found an error that is that the utb sprite does not appear during the first attack, but this happens when you change the tone of the image to different colors, but if it is predetermined (0) if it appears, I would like to fix this surely the solution it would be first to load the utb sprite first and then the rest
    but otherwise everything is fine

    I hope to see myself explained well

      I encountered the same issue. Either the player sprite or the attack sprite are invisible for the first time they are used. After that they work fine but it is fairly annoying to deal with.

        I recently fixed the problem. Turns out that my Icon sheet was too big(5mb+) and that caused trouble with loading the graphics. Simply making it smaller fixed the issue.

    I’m just curious, is there anyway to make it so players start a “Undertale attack”, I wanted to edit the system to it’s more of a minigame to increase the attack power

    Hey Guys,

    maybe this is a silly question but I’m having trouble making the
    battle events last longer than two rounds.
    Can anyone help me out there?
    I’ve been trying changing variables, renaming them, conditional branching, but
    nothing seems to work out properly for me.

    Also I keep seeing the error message: failed to load command%205.png
    the thing is, there is no such data in my orders at all.
    Anyone else encountering this?

    Hi, I’m having trouble as the SPARE button isn’t showing up in my game. It shouldn’t be the image as it’s the default one. But I can’t select it at all. The enemy is set to be separable with the common events set up. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but I’d really appreciate an ensure as my searches have found nothing of use. Thank you and have a nice Day, Noon, or Night were you are.

    Hey, idk if you’ve stopped supporting this plugin, but I want to point out, that I think there’s some kind of memory leak in green mode (SHIELD MODE).
    I’ve noticed that used memory climbs pretty high when using green/shield mode and doesn’t come back down. And comparing it to red/normal and blue/gravity but they don’t increase the memory as much as green does, if at all. (I have not yet tried purple/trap mode)
    I watched the process in the task manager, and noted that at around 3.7 gigs of memory used the game is killed with no error message. Because of a fight I have which uses green mode through the entire thing it takes about 11 turns or so before it closes all of the sudden. While I’m in the green mode, the memory starts climbing, and when I get back to the party fight menu it halts but doesn’t come back down.
    Any idea why this is happening and/or how I can modify the script to fix it?
